Just remove the &nbsp from each TD tag. They are what is setting off your layout. It would be better to use an image or better still nothing. YOu are already setting the height of the row by the height of the image, PLUS, if you set the color in the TR tag instead of the TD tag the color will stay in EACH cell regardless of whether it has content or not.
